Does anyone know if the A890 from Auchertyre to Achnasheen is ok as an approach to Kinlochewe site please? It looks a bit narrow in places but presumably is lightly trafficked and has passing places.

Thanks in advance.

    Firstly the road is fine, and although single track in places there are plenty of passing places. The only awkward bit is the climb up from Auchertyre and care is needed on the descent to Strathcarron.

    Second I think you mean Morvic (not Bunree) to Kinlockewe, as Bunree is on the East coast. If you do mean Bunree the route you would use is the A9, A862, A835 & the A832.

    Embarassed I mixed Bunree up with Brora, and you'd posted before I got a chance to edit my post. Sorry to both eiflow & your good self for pointing out my error.

     At least you haven't critized by first paragraph, KWink

    Agree with comments about road.   If you are going to Kinlochewe, take plenty of midgie repellant and/or mosquito net.  It depends on the weather and time of year, but this is the worst site I have known for midgies.  Otherwise it's a nice site in a spectacular
    location.

    Hi GW

    Thanks for the warning but I doubt the midges will be out in the current weather although the forecast looks encouraging. I do have a supply of repellent but hope it remains intactSmile

    No problem. Haven't stopped at Bunree, but can confirm that Kinlochewe is a great site, with fantastic views.

    Yep.. agree the views are good from Kinlochewe but I do like a bit of water mixed in so Bunree gets my 1st equal vote....with Trewethet Farm!!

    NTH...A890 was just as you said...thanks. At least it was nothing like " The Struggle"
